More and more these days i see photographers stepping out and over the line when it comes to making a splash when choosing a background for their website. Like everything in life sometimes simple is just better and you can’t go wrong with simple white, black or neutral gray backgrounds.

Subtle textures in white, gray and black are ok but try to stay away from crazy textures and wild colors as they will only draw your visitors eye away from your images.

Spend time looking through some of your favorite photographers websites. I know all my favorite shooters use simple design with minimal color and let their images steal the show.
